The Roma Yoga Festival was held over the weekend of mid September, in the large park of Villa Pamphili. This year for the second time the management decided to have it in September, instead of June as was organized at the beginning, because they realized that it is much better to have it right at the opening of the seasonal courses rather than at the end. Counting on this to promote our Yantra Yoga courses at Zhenphenling, we decided to participate.
We had a stand, a free class where we had over sixty people practicing, and a very interesting seminar on Yantra Yoga and its benefits according to Tibetan and Western Medicine, led by Laura Evangelisti and Pia Barilli, in which twenty-five paying people joined in. The clear explanations of both Laura and Pia made everybody, including those who already knew Yantra Yoga and its benefits, understand how Yantra really works with the elements, the humours and the various pranas and generates its curing effects. There was a lot of interest and we all hope that this aspect can be deepened and made available for Yantra practitioners and any interested person.
Thank you to Laura, Pia, the Zhenphenling instructors Fulvio Grosso, Laura Graci, and Sergio Quaranta, the Gakyil of Zhenphenling and all those who helped in many ways, remaining at the stand, giving and distributing info and leaflets, taking photos and all the rest.
